From working on an improved cross-fade effect (one that will actually do a cross-fade https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/cross-fade/12027/1 ) I realised that the problem pointed out by Bill of getting a click at the end also occurs with the “Cross-Fade In” that is included in Audacity 1.3.x
The attached version fixes the problem.
Unzip the file and replace the existing “crossfadein.ny” file in your Audacity Plug-ins folder with the new version.
(You may want to rename the original file so that you have a backup - add “.bak” to the end of the file name)
Comments and questions are welcome as always crossfadein.ny.zip (299 Bytes) Current version of crossfadein.ny.zip The cross-fade plug-in included with current versions of Audacity 1.3.x has been updated so this version is only required if using old and obsolete versions of Audacity.
In that case you’d better have the most up to date version (attached).
This latest version addresses a very minor (technical) issue.
It is correcting the theoretical issue that the previous version will always process 1 sample more than the selected region because it is using the (ramp) function.
In practice I don’t think it makes any real difference at all. The overall length of the track is unaffected and the resulting track data is virtually identical. The only difference is that with the previous version the selection after processing has extended by 1 sample. It’s probably better that the code is “right”, even if it makes virtually no practical difference.
However the original plug-in (the one included in Audacity) has a much more serious flaw, and one that WILL affect users.
The current Audacity “Cross-Fade In” effect will often produce a click at the end.
The version attached fixes this bug. crossfadein.ny.zip (295 Bytes) The cross-fade plug-in included with current versions of Audacity 1.3.x has been updated so this version is only required if using old and obsolete versions of Audacity.
